"Irish Free Software developers Brian Brazil and Paul O'Malley have developed a new distribution, appropriately named gNewSense. Made with the philosophy of Debian and the structure of Ubuntu, it aims to be the freest distribution out there. It's so 'free', that it earned an official endorsement from the Free Software Foundation. Linux Online is grateful to Messrs. Brazil and O'Malley for taking time out of their busy schedules to answer a few questions about their project."

Removing all the non-free parts of a Linux kernel and distro is a respectable piece of work, but it is relatively easy; the difficult bit is replacing the lost functionality, especially in device drivers. Does gNewSense have any plans to do this?
